You COULD use a sleep() function in your server code to make the request take longer, but if you are trying to test this against a production server, I assume you want to introduce the delay (or nonresponse) on the client side. I would suggest a network throttler to simulate slow network response times. I personally use the cross-platform Charles proxy (no affiliation, but I'm a big fan) to handle this, but you can search Google for other alternatives.

You can make it on server side. For example in PHP script called by AJAX you can make sleep(5). I hope that you have familiar function on your server-side language.

If the ajax request goes to the server, why not let the server sleep() or equivalent?

Use this in your PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php

sleep(60);

If you got a timeout set at 30 seconds, the timeout will be called.
